It’s Hump Day and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Plus, Joseph Conrad’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
Me: more points in Terre d’Hermès.
Reminder: 12/5 is World Soil Day…
Tuesday scent of the day 12/2
It’s Tuesday, National Fritters Day and the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. Happy Birthday to Britney Spears! What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m taking community project points in Hermès Myrrhe Églantine. Tea at the moment is Chardwar Estate Assam from Upton.

Friday scent of the day 11/28
It’s Black Friday aka Buy Nothing Day, and Native American Heritage Day. (Also, National French Toast Day.) Birthdays: William Blake, Nancy Mitford, Berry Gordy, Randy Newman, Jon Stewart, Martin Clunes. Our community project for today: pick your Black Friday poison…wear the last fragrance you bought, wear a cheap thrill, or wear a fragrance you love but refuse to buy in a full size because it’s too expensive. (We’ve done this project several times.)
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
Unless I am forgetting something (which is quite possible) the last thing I bought was a decant of Imaginary Authors Dipped in Chocolate, and that’s what I’m wearing today…

Wednesday scent of the day 11/26
It’s Wednesday and National Cake Day. Plus, Thanksgiving Eve aka Drinksgiving / Blackout Wednesday — be careful out there! Birthdays: William Cowper, Mary Edwards Walker, Eugène Ionesco, Tina Turner, Marilynne Robinson, Elizabeth Blackburn. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m commando and a little under the weather after a vaccine yesterday. I see a nap in my future, and I may put on perfume after that.
Reminder: on 11/28, pick your Black Friday poison…
